Jesus dude you're a genius. I've seen a lot of different methods of people getting their Kickstarter Project viral and often times it's either usually not that interesting enough or has rediculous rewards, but everything you did to posting on Reddit to pre-setup of a Kickstarter and reasonable rewards is spot-on.
The quality is there.
The funding for demand is there.
And now the attention is there.
Good job mate!

What's crazy is how many of these "Must-see" movies I've seen and regret. I mean how is Green Hornet, Superman Returns or Hancock on there. That said, I will definitely be dropping by "Mindfuck forest."

Yeah, it's clearly a Western. It's just a transgressive Western, unlike the John Wayne-styled morality plays. But being a transgressive film where scumbags kill people for money doesn't confuse anyone from properly categorizing The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

I'd say 70% are movies I recommend, 15% are movies I haven't seen yet but heard or read very good things about, and then 15% are noticeable movies that I don't like that much but thought they are part of movie history or pop culture (like the one you're referring to).

That’s good to know - this should be higher. I think a lot of people think you made this list as “best films of all time”, but counting a culturally significant movie as “must-see” makes a huge difference.

Jurassic Park is a must-see. It nearly single handedly redefined how the movie going audience sees CGI today...but Jurassic World? Even if you liked it (which I did)...it's not in any way a "must-see" film unless you're a Jurassic Park fan.

I think this idea could be turned into a website or app. I always look on the internet and IMDb for what good movies to watch next. Something like this where I could see all the places I've travels and cool little things like that would be awesome. Like you could travel down roads and check off what movies you've watched.

My thinking is that you can zoom through the highway to get the tl;dw of the area - all the genre-defining stuff. If you like that then hey, why not come back, take your time and explore the back roads a little?

This is something I have to improve. It had to be close to the Cop River, it's a bit less comedy than Beverly Hills Cop or Rush Hour, and I wanted to have The Fifth Element transitionning from Car Park to Sci fi with a connection to Taxi Driver.

I'd make it toy story! pretty revolutionary film (first fully animated feature, leading the push in computer graphics that makes lots of other films possible - seems very 'modern') and also geographically it's in a nice bay.

You're welcome. I also liked how one of the teenage islands had Clueless (Emma retelling) and Never Been Kissed (loosely As You Like It). If this is teen classic retellings, 10 Things I Hate About You is based of The Taming of the Shrew while She's the Man is based off of Twelfth Night (both Shakespeare plays). Your map is really impressive, and I loved finding the little details throughout.

Wow. I seriously cannot convey how impressed I am by this project. This must have taken you so much time and energy. I hope you are very proud of finishing this. This is such an interesting way of organizing the information I would never have thought of it. Great job, seriously.

edit: I have long held the idea that part of the future of art is the organization of information. It is absolutely a skill and an artform and I think this is proof of that.

I am a film student and I have a bunch of posters on my wall of some movies I think are good that aren't on your list /u/IMtheRookie! Even though everybody likes different films these are these are the ones I have on my wall and which I'd recommend:

It bother’s me a little that the Cornetto Trilogy is split up. Granted it’s on two roads that are side by side but it’s just weird seeing Shaun of a The Dead and Worlds End right next to each other and over on this other road is Hot Fuzz. Eh it’s whatever. This is amazing!

Edit: I take back everything except the “this is amazing” part. I didn’t not realize that they were all on “Cornetto Lake. Nice attention to detail.

Yeah, I think this is more of a popular culture movies roadmap, but Jupiter Ascending feels really out of place anyway (neither critically acclaimed nor liked by the audience, big monetary failure, not ingrained in pop culture at all and barely anyone knows/remembers the movie exists).

Fun side note: when I got the shipping tube it was empty. The end cap had fallen off and there was no print. So I emailed the company about it. I got a very quick response that said [name] would get a new one sent immediately. Made it feel like a company with under 10 employees, although I can’t confirm that. Got a new one in a few weeks.
